July 24th 2021 – Caplor Hill Race
Neil Grinnell took on this tough race in the Wye Valley…
A 10k multi terrain race up and over Caplor Hill and finishing by running along the river Wye. The climbing started immediately and didn’t seem to stop until we got to the top of Caplor Hill about 2.5 miles in. Once over the hill though it was downhill or on the flat all the way. The route dropped down to run alongside the river which was stunning apart from the blazing heat. Wye Valley Runners added extra water stations to help with the heat which was very welcome. After running alongside the river for about 2 miles the finish was spotted. Unfortunately it was at the top of another hill! A fantastic route which is one for the diary next year. I finished 18th in a time of 55:23.
